Plied Yarns Trunk Show
Jan 24-Feb 6
Come see the amazing yarns from Plied Yarns, a company based in the Baltimore, MD region. This company was formed by Karida (Neighborhood Fiber Co) and Ann Weaver (weaverknits). Their yarns are unique and create a marled effect without the need to carry two yarns at the same time! They will be sending us a variety of colors in their fingering weight (North Ave) in their tonals and twists!
Thought to Thread Trunk Show
Feb 7/8 (w/ Tyler) and Feb 9-15
You know how we love our community, and we are so excited to announce that we will be hosting Thought to Thread (local indie dyed yarns) at our shop Feb 7-15! Swing by to say hi to Tyler, the dyer behind Thought to Thread, on Feb 7th or 8th. We’ll be keeping a selection of his yarns through Feb 15th, in case you miss out on the in person show! We hope you’re as excited to see these gorgeous, locally dyed (yep, here in Seattle!) yarns.
